About lights...

I know what to do for UVB, but I have heard that you can use regular incandesent light bulbs... Is this true? Thanks!

I use 2 light sources,i use a 100 watt bulb for heat,and a 12inch esu light for uva/uvb as, well. that seems to work fine for my set-up about 110 on the hot end and 80 through the rest of the cage.good luck

Regular incandescent bulbs do not produce UVB. They are find for heat but not for a dragon's UVB requirements.
